Summer Services

  • Neuropsychological Evaluations in the Hamptons

    This summer, Dr. Matthew Pagirsky will be offering a limited number of in-home neuropsychological evaluations in August. Each evaluation is comprehensive and highly individualized, conducted in the comfort and convenience of your own home.

    This personalized approach supports a more natural and engaging experience for your child, while allowing for an in-depth understanding of their cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning. Families will receive thoughtful, detailed feedback and clear recommendations to guide next steps.

Questions about Groups

  • We offer skills-based groups for children and teens that focus on managing anxiety, building coping strategies, and strengthening social connections. We also run parent groups, such as those for parents of children with new diagnoses, to provide support, guidance, and strategies for navigating challenges.

  • Groups are intentionally kept small, with 3–6 children or families, to make sure everyone feels comfortable and has the chance to participate meaningfully.

  • Most groups are offered in person to support connection and real-time skill practice. Some parent groups may be offered virtually for added convenience.

  • Groups are a good fit when children or parents may benefit from connecting with others who share similar challenges and experiences. Our clinicians will talk with you about your needs and recommend whether a group or individual services might be the best starting point.
